HISTORY 6 

CALENDAR OF COUNCIL MINUTES 1668-17' , 

PREFACE 

This calendar covering the executive minutes of the New York colon H^ 
council from 1668-1783, was prepared by Mr Berthold Fernow, keep., i 
of historical records, shortly before his resignation Ap. i, 1889, and w:-. 
intended to form with other calendars an additional volume of the ser . s 
of Documents relative to the colonial history of the state of New York. 

Numbering of volumes. No minutes exist for the period direcij'- 
following the surrender of New Netherland to the English, Aug. 29, i6f ,, 
the earHest being those of the council convened by Gov. Francis Lovelace, 
Sep. 2, 1668. Many of the executive acts of Gov. Richard Nicolls's 
administration are to be found in " General entries 1664-65 " and " Got ! 
of assize, 1665-72," which volumes were for that reason listed by Jolin 
Van Ness Yates in his Report of the secretary of state relative to the records , 
etc. in his office, 1820, as i and 2 of a set of 33 volumes of colonial counc ' 
minutes and general entries, while the first volume of regular council minut 
1668-78 was marked 3. This volume consists of two parts; the first em;- 
ing July II, 1673, and the second beginning Oct. 31, 1674. Minutes f( 
the intervening period of Dutch control are found in " New York coloni,,' 
mss", 23: 1-270 and have been translated and printed as "Minutes c: 
council of the administrations of commanders Evertsen and Benckes and 
of Anthony Colve, governor of New Netherland, 1673 and 1674", i-^ 
Docitments relative to the colonial history of the state of New York , 2 : 569 
730. Toward the end of the second part of the volume another interruptio 
in the minutes occurs from Nov. 10, 1677-Aug. 17, 1678, including th 
period of Gov. Edmund Andros's visit to England and the temporar; 
administration of Capt, Anthony Brockholls. Minutes for this perioC 
maybe found in '■'■ New York colonial mss ", vol. 26-27. 

A volume of " General entries 1671-74 " having been marked 4, the 
next volume of council minutes, covering the years 1683-88 is marked 5 



4 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY 

leaving a gap from 1678 to 1683; part of the minutes for that period, 
up to November 1680, may be found in "New York colonial mss " 
vol. 29, while other executive acts are recorded in " General entries 1678- 
80," vol. 32, and " Entries 1682-83," vol. 33. A gap in the council minutes 
occurs again between vol. 5, breaking off with the last council under Gov. 
Thomas Dongan Aug. 2, 1688, and vol. 6 beginning with the first council 
under Gov. Henry Sloughter, Mar. 19, 1691. For the first year of this 
period, when New York was united with New England under Gov. 
Sir Edmund Andros, no regular proceedings are among the New 
York archives, but for the years 1689-91, covering the administration 
of Jacob Leisler, a full record of commissions, appointments, orders, 
accounts, etc. with numerous letters are found in vol. 36 of " New York 
colonial mss.'' After vol. 6 the minutes form one uninterrupted series 
till Mar. 11,1776. A few pages of minutes of the councils of Gov. James 
Robertson and Lt.-gov. Andrew Elliott from Mar. 23, 1780-Nov. 19, 1783, 
held at New York city then in the hands of the British are also recorded. 

Legislative minutes. Beginning with the first regular colonial legis- 
lature, convened in 1691 by Gov. Sloughter, the council became a legislative 
body, coordinate with the assembly. Its legislative minutes have been 
printed as the Journal of the legislative coimcil of the colony of New York 
begun the gth day of Ap. i6gi and ended the jd day of Ap. 177S, 2 v. Alb. 
1 86 1, and for that reason are not entered in this calendar. 

In vol. 6-8, executive and legislative minutes are kept separate, the 
latter at the end of each volume. Vol. 6 contains also the minutes of 
the council in its judicial capacity 1687-88, and vol. 7, proceedings of 
the court of oyer and terminer, 1679-85. In vol. 9-17, 1702-36, the 
two functions were mingled and the minutes printed as legislative have 
been marked by a pen or pencil line in the margin. Vol. 18, 20, 22, 24, 
27, 28 and 30 contain only legislative minutes and were printed entire, 
as also some minutes of 1775-76, found in vol. 26. 

Of the greater part of these minutes the state library has two and in 
some cases even three copies. The first and most complete set described 
above and used for the compilation of this calendar, consists of engrossed 
minutes except vol. 9-1 1, which are made up of blank books of rough 
copies. The second set, covering with some interruptions the years 
1709-76, consists entirely of blank books from which a few minutes not 
found in the bound volumes of engrossed minutes have been inserted in 
the calendar. The third set containing the original drafts of the pro- 
ceedings of 1754-75 are in the form of loose sheets.

NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY 



COLONIAL GOVERNORS 1664-1783 

In the following list of colonial governors dates represent, as nearly as 
could be ascertained from manuscript sources, the actual beginning of each 
administration, i. e. the first official act of a newly appointed governor. For 
a temporary administration the date of the governor's departure has been 
chosen in preference to that of the appointment or the oath of office in 
council of his lieutenant. Beginning with Sir Danvers Osborne, 10 Oct. 
1753, all dates are given according to new style; for preceding dates, old 
style has been used in conformity with the records. Indiscriminate use of 
old style and new style dates in Civil list of New York, New York legislative 
manual and Harper's book of facts will account for most of the discrepancies. 

The list of members of the council printed below, is taken from Civil list 
of the colony and state of New York, Alb. 1889, p. 363-64.

INDEX 



_ It has been impossible in many cases to identify persons because of incon • 
■sistencies in spelling, irregularity in use of 'van,' 'sr' and 'jr' and omission of 
other designations. If there are few references to the same form of name 
they are grouped together, though referring to more than one person, unless 
the text furnishes some means of distinction. The same method is followed 
for names under which there is a large number of entries when many can 
not be certainly identified. In cases of different spellings of what might be 
the same name, if the identity seemed certain, entries have been made under 
one form with references from other forms; if uncertain, entries are made 
under the different forms, with cross references. As it is quite unlikely that 
all such cases have been recognized, it will be well to have at hand all pos- 
sible variants of a name one wishes to find. Where surname alone or with 
a distinguishing title is given the person may be identical with one entered 
later under full name. 

The superior figures tell the exact place on the page in ninths; e. g. 558* 
means page 558 beginning in the third ninth of the page, i. e. about one 
third of the way down.
